Green Butterhead Lettuce and Rapini Seeds Started

Just started the following seeds indoors for transplant: Green Butterhead Lettuce –Nancy and Rapini. Occasionally I will be asked what the heck is Rapini? Sometimes it is called Broccoli Raab. It is a tender green that can be sauteed with olive oil and garlic and mixed in with sausage and  pasta, such as an Orechetti type, and seasoned with red pepper flakes. More often than not you will find recipes for it in Italian cookbooks.

My onions that I started a few weeks ago are doing great indoors. I am biting at the bit to start planting outdoors, but it is about 12 days too early for that.
